Choy Li Fut Kungfu course

On November 24, 2023, the Choy Li Fut Kungfu course of the Chinese martial arts series at the Southampton Confucius Institute finished its 8-week course. The course was jointly organised by the Confucius Institute at the University of Southampton, the Southampton Chinese Association, and the Chinese Students and Scholars Association. The instructor was Professor Michael Ng, a professor at the School of Electronics and Electrical Engineering at the University of Southampton and the president of the Southampton Chinese Association.

Throughout this popular course, participants not only acquired specific martial arts techniques but also experienced the charm of Chinese martial arts culture.

One participant said: I would like to personally thank Professor Michael Ng for giving us his time to teach a unique form of martial arts. Participants contributed to a welcoming and encouraging environment where their fitness, flexibility and coordination was improved through combination drills in the basic steps of Choy Li Fut. It is a pity that these classes have come to an end - they were most enjoyable.
